Errazuriz Estate
El valle de Aconcagua has a Mediterranean climate with warm summers that are cooled by breezes of the Pacific Ocean and its cold Humboldt Current. This cooling influence creates a long growing season with ripenig some two to three weeks later than any other Chilean wine region. Late ripening enhances the flavours, intensity and concentration of our wines. Average rainfall in the valley is 250mm (9.8 inches) and only comes during the winter; this is about a quarter of the rainfall in Bordeaux, making for generally more concentrated wines. This lack of rain helps the viticulturalists to control vigour and berry size, as well as to maintain ripening. As the air is warm and dry, fungal diseases like mildew and botrytis are unknown in el valle de Aconcagua, this allows us to pursue a non-interventionist, sustainable approach to viticulture. Irrigation is vital for grape production in the Aconcagua Region. We are blessed with a wonderful supply of snowmelt from the Andes that flows into the river system; Read more »
Very nice, pleasing citrus, with some more body than some sauvignon blancs.

Errazuriz Carmenère Estate 2008
Snoothrank:
A very approachable wine with loads of personality. the nose greets you with cherry, raspberry jello, tiramisu and tobacco leaf. Entry evokes the tartness of homemade currant jelly or a mixed fruit pie. At just $15 a bottle, it'll make a fine companion the next time you curl up to the poetry of Roberto Bolano and nosh on a quick lunch from Chipo... Read More

Carmenère Single Vineyard Valle de Aconcagua 2009
Snoothrank:
A Chilean wine from the Viña Errázuriz who have been making wines for more than 130 years. With a fun label that looks like it is handwritten in beautiful cursive text this wine pours with a deep, almost opaque ruby/maroon color. It looks like liquid mahogany. The first aroma is of spicy, bitter, dark chocolate and black cherries that is so i... Read More

Errazuriz Sauvignon Blanc Estate 2010
Snoothrank:
I found the nose to have a flax or grainy scent with vegetal tones of green pepper. Very herbaceous. Grassy. Flavor follows suit in being very herb driven with hints of pear and again grainy tones. Some slight grapefruit and hints of gooseberry and even some slight mint or perhaps basil flavors. Not really my style. Read More
